Small Overlord Chang Wen

Li Qiuhai's thoughts were exceedingly meticulous. With just a few short sentences, he had drawn the distance between them much closer.

Not only had he dangled the lure of rewards, but he had also made it clear that although Bai Ze was an honored guest, he regarded him as one of the family's own descendants.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Li Qiuhai did not disturb him any further.

After all, even when one wished to grow closer, one could not overdo it.

After parting ways with him, Bai Ze did not immediately return to his residence. Instead, he turned and left the Li Estate.

He also realized that the other party had given him thirty Blood Changing Pills. Clearly, they had investigated him long ago.

After tucking them into his robe, Bai Ze thought to himself, "I have enough Blood Changing Pills now, but I still lack medicine to restore my body."

"Only by using the Blood Changing Cultivation Method and pills together can I speed up the blood-changing process."

"As for the resource Contention Battle in a month, I certainly won't be the only participant from the Li Family. I'll adapt to the situation when the time comes."

"If the Li Family can hold on to the city lord's position, then it wouldn't be impossible to go all out."

After all, while one could obtain vast resources at times, being too sharp and conspicuous was no good either.

The stronger one's strength in the Blood Changing Realm, the more thorough the blood change, and the greater one's strength would be when breaking through to the Innate Realm in the future.

To ensure the safety of their descendants and prevent other families from growing even stronger, certain threats would be strangled in the cradle.

But so long as the Li Family could firmly hold the city lord's seat, while it would not mean absolute safety, there would at least be some protection in the open.

After making a round through Pingfeng City, Bai Ze arrived at the Treasure Pavilion.

The Treasure Pavilion's origins were mysterious, and its reach was vast. It had never involved itself in local conflicts, only doing business.

Yet the fact that it could ensure its own safety already showed how formidable its background and those in charge were.

The moment Bai Ze entered, a clerk stepped forward with a smile. "Greetings, esteemed customer. What do you need? I can introduce anything we have here for you."

"Moreover, we not only sell all kinds of goods, but also purchase them. I wonder whether you are..."

"Do you have anything for restoring the body?"

"Yes, this way, please."

With that, the clerk nodded and directly led Bai Ze farther inside.

The shelves within the Treasure Pavilion were filled with all manner of goods.

Whether it was pills, weapons, martial skills, or cultivation methods, everything was available.

So long as one could afford the price, they basically had it here.

If it could not be bought here, then it was likely impossible to find anywhere else in Pingfeng City.

When they reached an inner counter, the clerk took several porcelain bottles from beneath it.

"These are all for restoring the body," he introduced. "They are Golden Wound Medicine, Body Tempering Powder, Body Recovery Paste, Clear Wind Pill, Blood Coagulation Pill, and Body Protection Pill."

"All of these are excellent healing medicines, suitable even for Innate martial artists."

"Of course, their prices and effects differ. Which kind would you like, esteemed customer?"

Bai Ze's gaze remained calm. After pondering for a moment, he ultimately chose the Body Recovery Paste.

After all, he was not injured. He merely needed to ease the burden his body bore during cultivation.

Thus, for his current needs, the Body Recovery Paste was undoubtedly the most suitable.

The clerk did not mind and simply asked about the price and how much he wished to buy.

When Bai Ze emerged from the Treasure Pavilion, he had gained several portions of Body Recovery Paste, but the silver he had obtained earlier was nearly exhausted.

Who would have thought that a single portion of Body Recovery Paste would cost fifteen hundred taels of silver?

He had spent nearly forty thousand taels to buy more than twenty portions. Hopefully, it would be enough!

Just as Bai Ze was heading back, he suddenly encountered a young man dressed in splendid clothing, followed by several attendants.

At first, Bai Ze paid him no mind, but the other party seemed to know him and deliberately blocked his path.

The man looked him up and down, then said disdainfully, "You're Bai Ze? I thought you had three heads and six arms. Turns out you're just some pretty boy!"

"Who are you? I don't think I know you."

"Haha, he actually asks who I am. Tell him who I am."

"Hahahaha!"

At Bai Ze's question, not only did the man before him laugh, but even the attendants behind him burst into laughter.

One of them stepped forward from behind, pointed at Bai Ze's nose, and said arrogantly, "Listen up, you little wretch! This is the Chang Family's Second Young Master, Chang Wen. Now you know, right?"

"Oh."

Hearing this, Bai Ze merely responded calmly. His expression did not change in the slightest as he turned to leave.

To him, let alone Chang Wen, what could it matter even if the Chang Family's patriarch himself came? He did not know them anyway.

After all, he had only been in Pingfeng City for a few days and had barely gone out. How could he possibly know?

Seeing Bai Ze turn to leave, the attendant who had spoken earlier said in disbelief, "Wait, you don't know Chang Wen, Second Young Master Chang?"

"I'm talking to you! Didn't you hear me? Stop right there!"

But when Chang Wen saw Bai Ze remain completely unmoved, he instantly flew into a rage.

What was this supposed to mean? As the little tyrant of Pingfeng City, who didn't know him? Did he really have no face at all in front of this guy?

Watching Bai Ze's retreating back, he shouted furiously, "Bai Ze, don't think that just because you happened to save Li Qiuyu once, you can start entertaining other ideas!"

"Some people aren't ones a little nobody like you can get close to!"

"If you know what's good for you, get the hell out of Pingfeng City right now, or I absolutely won't let you off!"

Yet Bai Ze had no intention of paying him any attention. Without slowing his steps, he continued toward the Li Residence.

Chang Wen was left behind, raging like thunder in impotent fury. He kicked over a nearby stall and roared, "Fuck! What kind of trash is he, wearing the same hairstyle as me? Smash it all up!"

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Please, don't smash it!"

"Get out of the way!"

At Chang Wen's command, the attendants behind him immediately sprang into action.

After kicking the stall owner, who had collapsed on the ground, flying, they began smashing everything up like mad.

Clearly, this was far from the first time such a thing had happened. Seeing this, the surrounding people hurriedly retreated to the side, not daring to meddle.

After all, who in Pingfeng City didn't know the little tyrant Chang Wen?

Never mind what happened if someone offended him—if he simply found something displeasing to the eye, he would casually find an excuse to smash it to pieces.

If Chang Wen were not the Chang Family's second young master of the direct line, he probably would have died eight hundred times over.

Meanwhile, Bai Ze paid no attention to what was happening behind him.

This time, he had merely suffered a calamity that had fallen from nowhere. It was nothing more than a beauty bringing disaster.

The other party had clearly learned some information, and today they had happened to run into each other, which was why this had occurred.

But it also made Bai Ze feel even more urgency in his heart, and he wanted to speed up the blood replacement process.

After all, the other party might find it difficult to make a move openly, but in the dark, that was another matter entirely!

Moreover, whatever the reason, the two of them had now formed a grudge.

Not long after Bai Ze returned to his residence in the Li Residence, Li Qiuyu learned from the servants about what had just happened and immediately rushed over.

After all, she knew it was because of her. How could she not know what Chang Wen had always been thinking about her?

After pushing open the door and entering, she asked directly, "Bai Ze, are you alright?"
